My (re)switch story

[Karan Madhyani]

I owned a lumia 520.. I loved it.. It was my first smartphone. I used it for 1yr 11months.. I still love it. Ryt from startscreen to 'one' apps n lumia camera suite.. There's a lot to love abt lumia then to hate..times change n so i was a bit bored by lumia..apps dropping support for windows os n untimely updates.. i needed a change so i switched to android.. I bought a moto g2 wich has stock lollipop.. I was shocked to see the battery life n small things that annoyed my day to day experience.. Like the white google widget on homescreen wich nvr went well wid my batman wallpaper..not all animation r smooth..i installed various launchers but no matter wat it suckd..but also i enjoyed its suprb eco system apps like snapchat ask fm n games like wwe immortals , monument valley.. Really made me stuck to it..
But again it nvr lasted for a full day..
So now i switched back to my good old 520 n came to know abt windows 10.. I was excited until i saw new startscreen wich sucked.. W10 looks like still beta (so judgements reserved)

Now i want to upgrade to lumia 730 or lumia 640..

Lumia 730
Great display
Grt front cam
Awesome looks

Lumia 640
Grt battery
Glance
New camera..

Wich1 shud i choose,
Considering camera n display as priorities?
Wich will get almost all features of windows 10?
Or shud i move back to a better android phone?
Thank you in advance..
Sry fr poor language.

You still have a 520 for wp experience, n also a quiet good performing android, so IMHO wait for 740/740xl you aren't in a situation where you need a phone asap n urgently, so you will be making the best decision by waiting to see what 740 has to offer. If you just want a new lumia right now, i will vote for 730 (amoled is awesome) it will get the camera soon enough.

Ya .. But not sure of lumia 730 getting camera upadate.. Waiting for lumia 740 makes sense until its long overdue.. Plus lumia 520 is awesome option to try out windows 10.

P.s-i gave my moto g2 to my relative i nly have lumia 520.
I hope lumia 740 has glance + amoled+new camera

Why not try nexus 5 32gb variant? Nice specs with ample battery. I use my lumia 925 just for clicking pics. The apps which i use are much better on android so i prefer android over windows more. Hope after official release of windows 10 my preferences might change.

Nexus 5 has ok ish battery as i heard n read in many reviews.. It is quite expensive.. I hav budget of 15-20k i wud love to have 740.. Letz c..i hope i get basic games on windows platform..

640 XL... Significant Battery and Camera Upgrades. 3000 mAh & 13MP Zeiss Lens.

Does that fit your budget?

You can get a used one for lesser price. Lumia 640 xl with 3000 mah battery with windows os would give a nice battery backup atleast much better than an android device. Playing games on 5.7 inch display would be great. Processor would be i little disappointment.

Actually there are not much addicting games on windows os
